Overflow x / Overflow y position of the table in the overflow section

Note If specifications for the overflow table are missing, no overflow happens! If you want to use the overflow mode [Overflow mode], the duplicate option must be selected under Elements -> Page [Side] -> Overflow mode! (For this, the page has to be selected.) Especially at tables with many lines possibly several pages are created. The overflow mode can be tested in the PDF preview . In the template itself the overflow mode is not displayed.

Overflow width / Overflow height: Dimensions of the table in the overflow section

Table type:

Note You can also use the Table, BOM, Physical and Variable options together for a template (several times if required). Simply create the desired tables one after the other.

Single over [Single overflow on same page] flow on own side:

With the Single overflow on same page option, a table can be split and the two parts placed next to each other. The table can only overflow once on the same page.

Set the X-Y coordinate and the width and height of the overflow table under Overflow x, Overflow y, Overflow width and Overflow height.

The function is analogous to Embed documents [Embed Documents]. There a reference is made to a file in the catalog, here a hyperlink is inserted and this then refers to an external file.

Embed documents [Embed Documents]:

With Embed documents [Embed Documents], you can create links in the table that can later be used to call up any embedded documents in the generated PDF.
